The Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville announces the first annual Jimmy and Dee Haslam Postdoctoral Fellowship, to begin August 1, 2009. The Haslam Fellowship is open to untenured scholars in any field of medieval or Renaissance studies whose work falls in the period 300-1600 C.E. The Institute hopes to attract a scholar of outstanding potential with an innovative research plan, who will participate fully in the intellectual life of the Marco Community. Each year, the Fellow will teach one upper division undergraduate class and one graduate seminar in his or her field of expertise, with a preference for seminars using primary materials in their original languages. The Fellow may teach both courses in a single semester if her or his research plan warrants that arrangement, and the Fellowship is renewable for one further academic year. Salary is $37,500 and includes full benefits. Applications, including curriculum vitae, a detailed research plan (3-5 pages), and three letters of reference, should be sent to Prof. Michael Kulikowski, Riggsby Director, Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN37996 by April 1, 2009. Information on the Marco Institute is available at http://web.utk.edu/~marco/.
